It's really easy to completely miss the point because of a misinterpretation of a word or concept.

I can't remember which year it was but I did an exam where it was talking about long term exchange students in Australia. And I interpreted it as long term exchange students in Japan. So it kind of confused me and consequently all my answers were wrong.

I'm really nervous about this exam now. I've done pretty much nothing. Just practice exams. Haven't even done grammar or kanji revision.
&Vocab = death.

When I did japanese I thought 'Aussie' was 'orgy' for almost the entire duration of the exam. Can't remember if it was listening or reading though..
